Yeah... Theyve had a family template made by using that method, at this office since before my arrival. Ill tell you what i would do: Get rid of it immediately. They cause serious stability issues. They get erratic if things are hosted to them, they delete things, they cause errors and hiccups when a journal has to report a *category* for the family, and all sorts of other weird stuff.
Totally not worth the investment. -
Thanks for the heads-up Aaron, I have posted your warning to the blog.Originally posted by Twiceroadsfool View Post
It is one of those hacks that might be super-useful in certain situations, but you would have to be very careful with it. I'm glad I put a disclaimer on the original post

Dave Baldacchino had first posted this hack some years ago in AUGI, and I have messed with this hack just to see if it was worth using in a project. I did made a wall family and used it in a project, but you won't be able to host any doors or windows.
Kind of like what Aaron said, it is unstable. I also made a ceiling family using the same trick but it had some weird behavior as well; of course ADSK will not support this either.
I am not sure this will be any different in 2012.Comment
